Any significant malformation damage to the front or rear end is 90% gonna be a total. It will likely be a youtuber prob someone who hits a dip in the back road while showing off to their friends….

Hopefully, the crash test video will be the first wreck we see. I'm very interested to see what those will show.

Didn't we did notice that the castings were attached with bolts in one video?, but that externals were adhered to the casting with industrial adhesive? I think I saw this in one of Joe Tegtmeyer's videos. What if we get to a design where the whole front section or whole rear section is replaceable (as long as the battery pack and opposite end of the vehicle remains undamaged)? I mean, if the castings are bolted on, just thinking out loud. Now if the castings are both bolted and glued or welded, then all bets are off and reread post #2 above.

We know about 'Boat Mode' but what about the 'Flying Baja Mode' where someone tries to 'jump' CYBRTRK

If I’m real early and one or a few of you know how to package a youtube video together such that all or most of my cost can be recouped, I’ll 100% volunteer to jump my first CT order over and over until its destroyed. I’ve already got good safety gear

My guess is that Optimus will have a precocious clone who spent too much time on social media and thinks a CT tictok will get views.

IIRC Joe was told not to fly over the crash test site area for a while or be restricted on flying.
